Anyone know of this motherboard? I just got it yesterday on a deal from microcenter and can't find anything about it. I hope it's good. Also, from Asus' site, it says it supports 5th gen, new 4th gen, 4th gen etc etc. But the booklet it comes with doesn't say it supports 5th gen. And on Microcenters website it says the Northbridge is Z87, not Z97. I hope this can take my 4790k.

So this motherboard is actually good then? It's just weird there's nothing about it anywhere

Its a very good motherboard, its basically a Z97-A with better looks.
